[PATCH v2 2/3] riscv: Restrict DWARF5 when building with LLVM to known working versions

[Nathan Chancellor]

LLVM prior to 18.0.0 would generate incorrect debug info for DWARF5 due
to linker relaxation, which was worked around in clang by defaulting
RISC-V to DWARF4 [1]. Unfortunately, this workaround does not work for
the kernel because the DWARF version can be independently changed from
the default in Kconfig.

Do not allow DWARF5 to be selected for RISC-V when using linker
relaxation (ld.lld >= 15.0.0) and a version of LLVM that does not have
the fixes (the integrated assembler [2] and ld.lld [3] < 18.0.0)
necessary to generate the correct debug info.
